Yay New York: Confetti Hangover

I was going to post this tomorrow, but what the heck. It’s 2am and we’re still awake (if only barely), so it’s coming at you now.

Tonight was incredible. When our amazing DJ Whitney Day showed up, I told her that I was going to break from so much emotion, and she said, “Now that I’m here, no more crying.” And she was right. From then on, it was only celebrating.

It was celebrating the two couples that got married. It was celebrating the APW community (Oh my god, you guys are SO HOT. I pulled several people aside to ask if it was just me or if the room was a pulsating blur of sparkly sassy hotness, and everyone agreed that it was.). It was celebrating a truly amazing group of vendors and helpers who came together and for one day became a living breathing team. It was celebrating New York and marriage equality.

It was magic.

I’m going to spend the weekend trying to figure how to put what went on in that room into words (and pictures). So for now, I’m just leaving you with confetti. Thank you, all of you, for reading, and crying, and cheering, and being there with all of us in spirit today. We felt it. (And you can still donate to the APW LAMBDA Legal drive here). Goodnight….

Congratulations to you and Elizabeth for pulling off the audacious. I want to twirl in support. Get some rest.

I thought that aside was going to read, “Oh my god, you guys are SO HOT. I pulled several people.” And was kind of disappointed it didn’t. (Sorry, David. Kidding. Slightly.)

You guys are AWESOME.

This whole event just makes me so so happy. Congratulations to the two newly married couples and to Meg and staff for being so amazing and pulling this off!
Lots of happy tears this morning! I cannot wait to read the graduate posts.

Thank you thank you thank you Meg for liveblogging this so we could all take part as well. I read your words all day yesterday, and I could feel the swelling of it all.

That room looked small and intimate, which I’m sure was awesome, but it was holding SO MUCH LOVE!!!! A huge huge thanks to you and your vendors for doing this, for making something that IS magical and amazing extra beautiful and sweet. Ahhhhhh, goooood stuff. Buzzing from joy now!

I’ve been reading APW for almost two years now, and have never ever ever left a comment. But the day you all put together yesterday is just way too cool to keep quiet! I had goosebumps, grins and tears just reading along with you yesterday, and it made my day. A huge “GREAT JOB” to everyone who made such an amazing day happen–you are AWESOME! (and thank you for sharing it with us all day. can’t wait for wedding grads!)

I just wanted to say that I’m not a big partier. I’m fun at parties, but I’m the girl pouring shots and telling dirty jokes in the corner, and convincing drunk people to hide antiques on the roof.

This was a PAR-TAY! Craziness abounded in all the best possible ways, as in I was on the terrace and overheard professional party goers turning down other parties to stay at ours. Meg and Elizabeth and all the vendors pulled off a wicked, epic event, and they deserve full awe and admiration for it!
